Dong Lai Shun

Fare Huaiyang (Chinese) cuisine.

Ambience Elegant without being overbearing. You feel right at home thanks to the light filling the basement in which it is located, tasteful furnishings and the sounds of the nearby water feature which helps strike an appropriate balance whether you are there for a family gathering, something more intimate or a business meal.

Cost For lunch (11.30am to 3pm), HK$250 per person without alcohol.

Who to bring Ideal for a family gathering, business meeting or with your other half purely for the food.

Turn-ons Versatility sums up the extensive menu. Though the signature dish is shuan yang rou (Mongolian hotpot), there are tantalising options for lovers of seafood, meat, vegetarian dishes and dessert. Pan-fried cake filled with spring onion and sesame was a treat, topped only by the braised eggplant with bean paste (ask for it spicy if that's your preference). Stir-fried shredded potatoes with assorted chilli in vinegar sauce made for an interesting blend, though it may not be to everyone's liking. If you have space for dessert, the deep-fried pineapple pastry was as tasty as it was visually appealing.

Drinks Traditional tea will do the trick, or you could choose from a wine menu that offers something for everyone.
